Does having a Fujita Cold Air Intake cancel out my warranty x_x

Oh well maybe when the time comes, Ill just swap it out with the stock one...even though my ECU will be like wtf?

 

the issue has not been fixed, as we are still doing a crapload of these jobs at the toyota dealer i work for...in some parts of the country the part (VVTi oil line) is even backordered!
keep an eye on your oil level everyone! not that you shouldent already be checking your fluids regularly!


remember, fail to prepare, prepare to fail!

 

Can you ask what happens when you have a Fujita CAI installed? I have the warranty...

 

2az FTW!

 

:thumbsup:

i like CorCam's quote!

 

Well, I guess good you detected it..but why did you not recognize it earlier? 5qts means your engine was almost dry, so a little oil puddle one morning in the driveway isn't it. Also oil warning lamp should have come on long time before you loose 5qts...or did you mean you lost most of it one day/night? Just wondering.

 

Noticed a little puddle size a a couple of quarters ... check levels and it was good ... went around town ... did a few errands and came back .... checked again, and level wouldn't show on the stick. Had to add almost 5qt. to get it to proper level ... then went immediately to the dealer!

 

Do you have a picture/diagram of the hose and where its located so i know what to look for?

 

2005 Avalon 2GE-FE: EG064-05 Toyota TSB



This TSB applies to the 2005 Avalon 2GR-FE V6 (Same engine as our Camry)

You can see the Bank 1 VVTi Oil Line and the location of the leak ... which for me was right near the foam insulation which acts like a sponge and holds a shitload of oil. If yours starts to develop this leak ... put your finger in there right by the foam insulation, if you pull your finger out and it is soaked with oil ... the Bank 1 VVTi Oil Line is your culprit.

 

Just BEWARE ... keep an eye on your V6 camrys fellas ... since the TSB was issues on the 05 Avalon in November 2005 ... this has been an ongoing issue that Toyota has apparently been keeping hush hush!

:disappoin

That's really unfortunate that they would do such a thing.

 

!!!!!!!11!!!!111!!

That's what I got from this.

 

for real. 2az FTMFW.

 

it may be slow, under powered, noisy, tick like a mofo, and get only 2MPG better then a 2GR. But its still a great engine.

 

for a 16yr old kid, youre smart and you post maturely sir. i respect that!
the 2az is all of the above, but it is still a great engine...my car isnt at all fast but it moves enough to get out of its own way, and it is one noisy SOB.

Cking, To my knowlege most dealers wont care about the intake, i know mine doesnt because ive done warranty work on a tundra that exhaust/intake and neither were TRD.
if you feel unsure, pop the oem airbox back in...it doesnt take much time and its easy to bolt on and off

 

Awesome! Ill just have to remember in a few years to beware of puddles under the engine at 45k miles...
Thanks

 

2az ftmfw. but i'd still take my k24 > 2az

 

Interesting find. I usually check my dipstick once a month, and I don't ever recall it being bone dry. So in that regard I might be lucky, but if this problem is well documented (first time I've heard about it), then I should have purchased the factory extended warranty before my bumper to bumper expired.

 

Centennail, if you are looking for an ext warranty. Let me know the mileage and make and I can get you a quote. Same goes for everyone else.

I have just under 39,000 miles. Yeah I would be interested. PM me with the details.

 

two questions:

1. Does the TSB simply replace the part with an identical one or is the new part superior (more durable).

2. It seems quite simple to change. Anyone change one? How much does the part cost?

who ever said the 2AZ was underpowered?!?!?

 

Lol, yours and Genes are exceptions the rest of the 2AZ's are dogs.

 

me.

 

has any other 2GR owners have this same problem?this has got me worried and thinking.i paid all this money for a car and now there is a problem with the oil line and there not fixing it.

 

Mine was fixed last week.:clap::clap:

 

After reading all these posts, about the oil line leak ,I will be sure to check daily. If it happens spontaneously and the engine is damaged I will sue Toyota for a design flaw.

 

Just sell it before it goes out of warranty, and try another manufacturer.

Toyota was great years ago, now they're just another GM really.

 

that's just a little extreme/ocd in my book

 

akira751

how many miles did you have on the car before you had it replaced?

 

I just hit 38k.

 

Damn....Ive noticed a small oil stain in my garage and the camry is the only car that parks inside. Might have to check that foam insulation then. I wonder if this applies to my 08 HL with the 2GR? Camry has 21K and HL has 2K.

 

ahh so happy i didnt get the v6 lol, even though ill get rid of the car before i get to miles where this needs to be fixed

 

this is where the leak will be coming from. There's a steel line connected to a rubber hose and the hose is where the oil should be coming from

 

I like your black cover - makes me wonder if I picked the right color (red).

 

Very disappointing from the Toyota name, my inlaws 07 Camry has the same issue.

 

What is the TSB that applies to the 2007 Camry SE V6 concerning this issue?
(sorry if somebody already said what it is during the previous posts, I didn't catch it)
Thanks, Ed

 

The TSB number for the '07 Camry is EG038-06. Check the details at http://www.geocities.com/dave12301/CarSpace/TSB-6cyloil-eg038-06.pdf.

So if there was a TSB for '07 models, would the '08 + models be free of this problem?
